I fell in love with this hat when I saw it on Keri Russell, as did most of the crafting world. I stumbled across a thread on craftster where everyone was trying to figure out this hat. I thought it would be the perfect thing to cover my always bad winter hair. I have had no success with knitting hats for myself and I had a ton of problems getting the fit of this right without ribbing. But it worked out in the end and I am happy with the results despite my frowny face =)
